The outraged activists have demanded that Sawant should be severely punished if the woman’s allegations are true and that he should be made an example of, so that people think twice before abusing a woman.


Some activists, speaking off the record, also wondered if the police, in the name of proper investigations, are shying away from arresting Sawant only because he is an MLA.
